"Chicken" with Lime Sauce

I am a big fan of imitation meats.  They are healthy, high in protein and delicious.  My favorite fake "chicken" is Quorn.  If you have not tried it you are definitely missing out!  Tonight I tried something new with Quorn Naked Cutlets (I realize that this sounds like a sales pitch, but I promise they're good!).  I modified a real chicken recipe, made a few tweaks and came up with something very tasty!

Here's what you'll need...

4 Quorn Naked Cutlets (1 box)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lime, juiced
6 tbsp butter
1 tbsp minced, fresh chives
1 tsp minced, fresh dill

Start by microwaving the Quorn patties for a minute or two to thaw them.  Dip the Quorn in the beaten egg and then roll in the panko bread crumbs.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook the Quorn for 3-5 minutes on each side.





Remove the Quorn patties from the pan when they're slightly browned on each side.  Keep them warm for a couple minutes while you cook the lime sauce.

Pour the lime juice in the same pan and cook until bubbly.  Add the butter and melt.  Toss in the fresh herbs and saute for a few seconds.  Spoon the lime sauce over the Quorn and serve immediately.
